“…Nevertheless, most authors seem-at least implicitly-to adopt the view that options are representations of candidates for action (Ward et al 2011;Raab et al 2009). We share this view and will argue in this section that options are a special subset of action representations.…”

Autonomous e-coaching systems offer their users suggestions for action, thereby affecting the user's decision-making process. More specifically, the suggestions that these systems make influence the options for action that people actually consider. Surprisingly though, options and the corresponding process of option generation-a decision-making stage preceding intention formation and action selection-have received very little attention in the various disciplines studying decision making. We argue that this neglect is unjustified and that it is important, particularly for designers of autonomous e-coaching systems, to understand how human option generation works. The aims of this paper are threefold. The first aim is to generate awareness with designers of autonomous e-coaching systems that these systems do in fact influence their users' options. The second is to show that understanding the interplay between a person's options and the e-coaching system's suggestions is important for improving the effectiveness of the system. The third is that the very same interplay is also crucial for designing e-coaching systems that respect people's autonomy.

“…Perception and action are tightly coupled in the performance of complex skills in sports (Raab, de Oliveira, Heinen, 2009;Warren, 2006). When a gymnast performs leaps on the trampoline, the perception of the trampoline bed in relation to the position of the gymnast when airborne supports the estimation of landing on the trampoline bed, and thus can help to prepare the subsequent leap (Hondzinski, Darling, 2001;Luis, Tremblay, 2008).…”

“…Visual information is thought to be a dominant source of information when performing skills such as leaps or somersaults (Heinen, 2011;Raab et al, 2009). It is thought that human's visual system is most sensitive to biological motion thereby utilizing different visual cues depending on aspects such as level of expertise as well as on the skill to be performed when performing complex tasks in sport (Blake, Shiffrar, 2007;Mann, Williams, Ward, Janelle, 2007).…”

abstract. Visual information is thought to be a dominant information source when performing whole-body movements in gymnastics.Visual information can furthermore facilitate performance when being engaged in situations of interpersonal coordination that may occur in sports such as synchronized trampolining. The question arises, which body-related visual cues are most important in the emergence of behavioral synchronization between two gymnasts in synchronized trampolining? To address this question, advanced gymnasts were asked to synchronize their performance to video-sequences of a model gymnast, while body-related visual cues of the model gymnast were systematically manipulated. Results revealed, first that biological motion cues are more important than nonbiological motion cues, and second that the perceived motion of the arms seems to drive synchronicity in synchronized trampolining. It is stated, that biological visual information of the arms is a dominant visual information source when performing leaps in synchronized trampolining.

“…This is especially the case where performance involves fast decision-making. The best decision is not the optimal decision per se, but the one that can solve the current situation well enough and fast enough (Simon, 1982; Raab et al, 2009; Todd et al, 2012). It is important to qualify what is meant by optimal performance so that efforts to identify and develop talented athletes are geared toward functional (not optimal) decision-making.…”

An adaptive toolbox approach to the route to expertise in sport

Expertise is characterized by fast decision-making which is highly adaptive to new situations. Here we propose that athletes use a toolbox of heuristics which they develop on their route to expertise. The development of heuristics occurs within the context of the athletes’ natural abilities, past experiences, developed skills, and situational context, but does not pertain to any of these factors separately. This is a novel approach because it integrates separate factors into a comprehensive heuristic description. The novelty of this approach lies within the integration of separate factors determining expertise into a comprehensive heuristic description. It is our contention that talent identification methods and talent development models should therefore be geared toward the assessment and development of specific heuristics. Specifically, in addition to identifying and developing separate natural abilities and skills as per usual, heuristics should be identified and developed. The application of heuristics to talent and expertise models can bring the field one step away from dichotomized models of nature and nurture toward a comprehensive approach to the route to expertise.
